The image you posted is in Model Space.

Doesn't appear you even work with any layouts.

Normally using the PUBLISH command allows users to output all or selected layouts to PDF.

What exactly are you trying to do?

@nazmudinf You don't / can't in with content like that without much pre-configuring effort: ready? Start by sharing your DWG file for instructions on how to proceed with the needed setups you must implement first.

If each of those areas you want to plot is a title block with same block name then there are at least two very informative threads on how to do this though they mention model instead of in layout but the concept is similar:

In the page setup manager, modify the printer/plotter to DWG to PDF.pc3

Double-click in the layout viewport and zoom extents, you can see all are included.

Then export it as PDF.

Not sure if this is what you're after but the attached Demo.lsp is modified from one of the threads I mentioned in prior post and I added #s to your DWG by sheet then running Demo will allow you to select the title blocks you want to create PDFs as separate files attached as Sample.zip.

I just did that so you can tell which title block is plotted first, second, third and all the way to the six sheet.
